Description

1911 1st ed Geoffrey Chaucer Romaunt of the Rose Illustrated Chivalry Lorris

â€œThe more a man gazes on what he loves, the more he sets fire to his heart and bastes it with bacon fat.”

â€• Guillaume de Lorris, The Romance of the Rose

The Roman de la Rose is a famous 13th-century Medieval French poem written as an allegorical dream sequence. It was written by Guillaume de Lorris who sought to express the feelings of romantic love, sexuality, and chivalry. It was completed by Jean de Meun who continued the work begun by Lorris. Thought to be the most widely read book other than the Bible in the 13th- and 14th-centuries, it was highly influential on other authors including notably Geoffrey Chaucer. In fact, because of Chaucers English translation, many believed it to be the original work of Chaucer.

This fine 1911 edition contains impressive, full-page color engravings of the art of Keith Henderson and Norman Wilkinson.
